Ping Pong Champ

Hello everyone. Well, I asked Dawnia to tell us about her ping pong successes but she felt it was a bit self serving and refused to write anything. So here I am telling you all and especially giving Dallan and Deven advance notice that their little sister may in fact whoop em in a game next time. Dawnia had a Ping Pong class at college where she has been learning the fine Art of the game of Ping pong. She was successful in beating everyone in the class. They held a tournament in which Dawnia won the whole thing. She must have been awesome. The guy she beat was extremely upset with the loss and told Dawnia that they were still friends but that he was very ticked off that she had beat him. She is to be awarded a prize on Monday, I'm hoping it is a full ride scholarship. In asking Dawnia how she was able to beat him she said she played to his weaker backhand side keeping the ball low to the net and just playing the angles. She said that occasionally she would serve him up a nice juicy forehand ball with a wicked undercut, which worked quite well in getting him to slam it into the net.
Well, done Dawnia !!!
I wished I had a picture to post with this but I don't. Maybe we can ask Dawnia to post one for us.
Love ya all. Lets all work on our ping pong game so we can be ready for Dawnia next Christmas.

Walla... 1st post from Dad

Not sure how to do this stuff, you know its hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Anyway, I'm bound determined to show you that I am not an old dog. Anyway, funny story for you all. I'll have to take a picture to show you all so you can really appreciate what I am going to tell you. Its not often that I do something really really stupid. Today however I out did myself. I was at the Elger bay store waiting for Dallan to get gas for his truck. I backed into a parking spot on the edge of the store where I waited for Dallan. I noticed a guy looking at the stone in Dallans truck and I thought that I should give him a business card when he drives by. So I quickly grabbed a business card and then at the right time I opened my door and ran over to this guys truck. I was just explaining that I do stone work when the guy tells me that my car is rolling away. I turned to see and my car must have been in Reverse. It rolled off the pavement down a steep slope and them to my horror it went over a cliff. I mean a 10 foot cliff and with little or no slope to it. I took off running only to my suprise to be passed by Dallan flying off the cliff trying to catch up to the truck. At the bottom of the drop off it was flat and sandy for about 30 ' before it went over another 20 to 30' drop off into someones house. Luckily Dallan with wings on his back was able to get to the truck open the door and slam on the brakes. I was stunned. Looking at what had just happened and seeing the cliff that the jeep went over I was shocked. It was amazing taht it never rolled . It went perfectly straight off which kept it from rolling and then at the bottom it was really sandy so it had just enought to keep it from fliping over on its top. The Jeep had sand in the rear tire located on the back door. I told mom that I am glad that I paid my tithing.
Anyway, I'll post some pictures for all to see. Yep I was embarrased. Especially doing something like this in front of all Dallans friends and this who knows who in the Truck with 4 or 5 people in it. Everyone was laughing. Well now you know you dad is not perfect and I can and will do some of the most stupid things. If you don't believe me just ask mom.

Love DAD
